Then the archive location can change immediately after you issue an update
;-)

Would it be an option for a newer version of ketchup to have a fallback
codepath to read a machine-readable description of how the archive is
structured from a known location? E.g. instead of appending a hard-coded
string '/people/akpm/patches/2.6/' when computing latest_mm(), the script
would read that "relative path to mm" from such a description file. The
logic of doing 'url = "%s/v%s/%s" % (kernel_url, t, f)' in install_nearest
would similarly be customizable, without too much hassle, I think.
